How to play

Use  D-Pad Left/Right to rotate the top layer in the corresponding direction. This is the only layer the player can move. In order to move another layer, the player needs to bring it to the top by rotating the cube. This can be done by pressing Select. Some circular arrows will appear. They show the axis around which the cube will be rotated. Press Select again in order to reveal other pair of circular arrows. Press Left/Right to move the cube around the chosen axis. Press B to hide the circular arrows and the top layer can be rotated again.

There is a pause menu, which can be displayed by pressing the Start button. The options included are:

• Reset the cube's configuration;
• get back to the Title screen.

No reward for solving the cube currently. Not even a Well done! message. This will be probably added in one of the next versions.

There are two game modes :

• Normal : the program shuffles the cube and you have to solve it;
• Freestyle : start from an already solved cube and try to experiment things and learn techniques in your own way.

Game tests are required to assure the mechanics correctitude and reliability (for example, detect and solve a wrong color mapping on cube rotation). Preferably by someone who has a bit of experience with solving this little thing. (Yeah, you got me: I suck at puzzles and strategy games :) ). Help & advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
